Hmm. So ndimage isn't really ready for use yet? Pity, image processing is
my main use for scipy.
Documentation should be extended too, it's not always clear what exactly an
algorithm is doing, what
the valid parameters are and what they're doing. I also noticed
generic_filter requires the filter function
to work on an unraveled array, and has to return a scalar, so you can't
create tensor images with it
(motionfields, gradient fields, in my case the 3D normal field for an
elevation map...). Some missing
functionality there, and definitely in need of better documentation.
